Sunny Bali Outfit + Ghost Train WAKUWAKU JAPAN Movie Review


What is the best daytime outfit to wear in a sunny place like Bali? If your answer is something lightweight, then we're on the same track. Considering the hot and humid weather, there's nothing else I'd rather wear than some lightweight pieces PLUS sunblock to protect my bare skin that's not covered in clothes. On this occasion, I threw on a graphic sleeveless cotton tee on top of my bright colored bikini, a pair of exotic print shorts and put on ethnic necklaces and bangles for more 'Bali' look. Aside from the actual function, the mirror sunnies was also cute as an accessory.

To complement the casual look, I added strappy ethnic heels which match my gold necklace and bangles, and also my blue shorts.

OOTD - Outfit of That Day
GOWIGASA Kanye West Top Grey, Sassy Blue Floral Lattice Shorts, Sunset Classic Mirror Sunglasses, Necklaces | Topshop Coral Bikini | ALDO Bracelets | Unbranded Batik Bangle | Pedro Heels

I think this beach wave hairstyle looks really good for this outfit. It's really easy to make, too! Would love to make a tutorial for this anytime soon. ^^

Enjoy the sunny Bali!

Anyway, Elle and I recently watched a horror movie from WAKUWAKU JAPAN TV Channel (#168) called Ghost TrainOtoshimono (オトシモノ).

Synopsis
There is something strange happening in Tokyo subway. A lot of people are reported missing, including Nana (Erika Sawajiri)'s little sister. Together with her friend Kanae (Chinatsu Wakatsuki), Nana is investigating the mystery. There's also this train conductor Toshikazu (Oguri Shun) who's being relocated to the lost-and-found department after he initiatively stopped a train because he reportedly saw a ghost on the railroad. They then find out that the missing people have something in common; they picked up a seemingly dropped-by-accident train ticket. And whenever someone's gone missing, there's always this strange, mysterious woman in black standing on the train platform.

Review
As a horror flick, Ghost Train has a pretty interesting storyline, but it lacks a lot of important things to make it even a decent movie. The pace is too slow and when it reaches the climax, it isn't even as scary or surprising as expected for such a long wait. Heavily focused on the cute main actress Erika Sawajiri (cast as Nana), her acting is also disappointing because she shows roughly similar faces / expressions to different situations (e.g. scared, surprised, tired) and it's not even convincing. Supporting actress Chinatsu Wakatsuki (cast as Kanae)'s acting is better. Special effect and make up are slightly below average. In conclusion, we wouldn't recommend you to watch it unless you're a fan of Erika Sawajiri (there are plenty of her shots and she's so kawaii here! Plus this is her FIRST horror movie ^^) or if you're out of choice. Having said that, it's still watchable, but we'd recommend you to lower your expectation before watching it. :)

WAKUWAKU JAPAN TV, please bring more horror / thriller movies to the screen, arigato gozaimasu!

Okay then, thank you so much for reading and see you guys on my next post~ (ˆヮˆ)づ♡

PaperOne's The PaperMaster Game Review | PLAY & WIN!

Today we'll be reviewing this NEW, exciting game: The PaperMaster! ()

It's this addictive game that got us playing almost everywhere. At home, in the car, at the salon...

...in the cafe with our new lazy dog...  E v e r y w h e r e !
It's.... the................
PaperMaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI, yes, you must sign in with Facebook to qualify for a chance to win. :D



You can choose the appearance and clothes for your character ^^


T H E  G A M E
First, you have to earn your paper, and it ain't that easy cause you have to nurture the Acacia tree and stop the bugs from harming it before it is harvested to make your papers!
Tappity Tap Tap! GO AWAY FROM MY PRECIOUS TREE, BUGS~~~!!!!!!!!!!!
After earning your papers, it takes you to the Office Challenge where you can earn points to WIN the actual prizes!
Remember Diner Dash? Well here in The PaperMaster, you have to assist your colleagues by:
 1. Taking their request,
2. Bring the right paper and
3. Choose the right printer and print it for them before the time runs out!
There are 3 types of paper and also 3 types of printers, so you must be careful. ^^ The challenge grows faster and more difficult on each level. Before you know it, your colleagues will turn impatient and more demanding! *sounds like real life? Lol*

Anyway, before you can continue to the next Office Challenge level, you always have to earn your papers by playing the Tree Resource Game first. Kinda annoying because you must be all fired up to go to the next level but this is also such a clever way to remind you that those papers must be earned through a process (well in this game, it takes your effort and time, right?), so you better not waste it. ^^b

Do we enjoy the game? YES! But most of all, we are personally delighted by this clever and environmentally friendly marketing idea from PaperOneTM because this PaperMaster game is so fun and addictive (not to mention the cute song + graphic) and yet it is very educative.
As you can see, the purpose of this game is to educate users (in REALLY fun way) about:
• How PaperOne nurture and preserve their natural resources before harvesting it
• The different types of usage of PaperOne papers, be it for home or office use. To name a few, it can be used for copying documents, making newsletters, school essays, account statements, design works, etc..

That's not all! The reason you have to play this awesome game is simply because of the........

I Feel Good


My mom once told me that wearing nail polish and perfume can boost her mood. I can never understand that as I'm not a fan of those beauty products. My perfume, for example, has been with me since 2009!! I only have ONE perfume and just wear it on special occasions. I wonder if it's expired yet. Still smells good though! *sniff2*

Anyway, for me, it's always been wearing bright colored outfits! :D
Every time I feel sluggish or not productive, I push myself to change my clothes to the bright colored ones and it instantly gets me in a better mood! ♫ James Brown - I Feel Good 

Well, usually if it doesn't work I'll just go for some cookies.


What I Wore: GOWIGASA Mint Cropped Knit Sweater and Blue Fit n Flare Midi Skirt | Forever21 Mint Purse | Topshop Necklace | Amble Footwear Pink Shoes

How about you? What puts you in a good mood? :)
